Não é preciso chegar ao fim do álbum Devotion para percebermos o potencial de Jessie Ware . A cantora de voz poderosa lançou-se desta vez a uma música escrita por Prince e que se tornou conhecida nos anos '90 pela voz de Martika − "Love Thy Will Be Done". Sobre camadas suaves de electrónica, Jessie canta-nos o tema com a doçura que lhe associamos, sem pecar por excesso de simplicidade. É ouvir e ser embalado. Andreia Duarte
Jessie Ware beautifully covers Martika's 1991 Prince-penned hit "Love Thy Will Be Done". I just love that she pulled this track from obscurity; a truly nostalgic blast from the past!
God, I love the tease of a two-chord song. The best of them - "Heroin," "Born In The USA," "Road to Nowhere" - work their simple structure into an atmosphere of endlessness and delayed, diffuse climax. But now that we're all addicted to hooks, it's rare to come across a pop song that doesn't play by the rules of payoff and resolution - and that's why I have been looping Jessie Ware's cover of "Love Thy Will Be Done" nonstop since she released it apropos of nothing other than her appreciation for this 1991 track, sung by soft-rocker [...]
Between appearing at every festival and late night show on this planet, the songstress of the moment Jessie Ware has somehow found time to cover the Prince-penned Martika single “Love Thy Will Be Done”. Staying fairly faithful to the original, Ware uses her gorgeous pipes to sound like an angel over the airy production that builds up it’s emotional power in a big way. The debut album Devotion is out now.
Here's the lowdown on "Love... Thy Will Be Done": It's the Martika hit that was co-written and produced by Prince , but wasn't "Toy Soldiers," and so it's been sadly eclipsed in the grand scheme of all things pop by nostalgia for the latter's chart-topping, late-'80s wattage. The dreamy mid-tempo ballad, which came packed with those unmistakeable, Prince-ly Paisley Park beats, sounded just as offbeat in 1991 as it does today, which made it all the more remarkable when it drifted into the Top 10 on the Hot 100. This is where [...]
We've been giving Ms. Jessie Ware some love for quite some time now. Her blissfully splendid debut album, Devotion , came in at an impressive and very much-deserved sixth place in our list of the best albums of 2012 and the single, " Wildest Moments " came out at a strong No. 13 in our year-end list of the best songs . Earlier today the English chanteuse dropped a rendition of the Prince -penned Martika [...]
Martika's "Love, Thy Will Be Done" (co-penned by Prince) was notoriously known as the singer's foray into lite FM stylings and the same goes for this new cover by Jessie Ware. Even as she was making her way toward becoming the UK's pre-eminent pop songstress, Ware was garnering comparisons to Sade, who can teeter on the side of adult contemporary, but more for the overlapping sultry textures both women's voices hold. Yet Ware's ability to tug at the heartstrings and the bleeding of new wave nostalgia onto the track squanders any notion of this being Mom Music. Check it out [...]
Jessie Ware 's stunning debut album "Devotion" was finally released in the States earlier this month on Cherrytree Records, and today, the British pop star just casually chucked a new song on Soundcloud. "Love Thy Will Be Done" is originally a 1991 single for Martika ( of "Toy Soldiers" fame ), and it was produced by co-written by the one and only Prince. Apparently, this track was hidden away on the US vinyl pressing of "Devotion" all this time! It's yet another solid addition to her rich '90s cover repertoire (including her sublime rendition of [...]
Jessie Ware no deja de sorprendernos, ahora nos presenta un gran cover a "Love... Thy Will Be Done" de Martika y es toda una joya. El track original fue producido por Prince y suena perfecto con la voz de Jessie Ware. Enjoy.
I am a huge fan of this Prince written Martika song, so I covered it x soundcloud.com/jessieware/lov — Jessie Ware (@Jessie_Ware) April 24, 2013 Jessie Ware covers Martika 's Prince-produced/co-written 1991 single " Love Thy Will Be Done ": [via @jessie_ware ]
GUH. In keeping with her ongoing theme of flaw-freelessness (going with it), British chanteuse Jessie Ware decided to drop a gift for fans today, via Soundcloud : A cover of Martika 's Top 10 1991 single, "Love... Thy Will Be Done," originally co-penned and produced by Prince. Unsurprisingly, it's sweet surrender. Staying true to the gentle sound of the original , Jessie effortlessly coos her way across a steady ambient pulse. It's absolutely stunning —a natural [...]
Jessie Ware turns in a wistful, weightless rendition of Martika and Prince 's 1991 classic, "Love...Thy Will Be Done": The post listen: Jessie Ware — "Love Thy Will Be Done" (Martika cover) appeared first on Soft Signal .
Martika LA was spotted on MySpace in 2009 where her musical talent and mixed heritage beauty (She is part Ghanaian, Greek, British and Dominican) saw her fast-tracked into girl group RD aka Ruff Diamondz. With RD she recorded and sang for two years, supporting JLS on tour and playing to tens of thousands of fans. Since departing the group she has been focused on writing and recording new material. Now armed with a new sophistication and mature sound, Martika LA gears up for her debut album release in 2013. 'Give Me Your [...]

A ten minute session dedicated to the MARTIKA this AM to play all of her three hits as today the she-popper celebrates her 43rd bgay, born this way May 18, 1969.
WOW, MESS! If Martika is planning a comeback this is not it. It sounds like a 2 Unlimited b-side from back in the day. The rap is so horrid. The song is so 90s' catwalk and not for the sake of being kitschy. This is just a mess. Filed under: Beats , Clip Tagged: album , martika , new , single
The MARTIKA no longer feels the earth move under her feet but rather opts to FLOW WITH THE GO . Sadly the comeback choon is a pile of shiteness.

Martika: Love...Thy Will Be Done [ Purchase ] This song blew me away the first time I heard it on the radio (though admittedly, I was only in junior high). It's beautiful, and anthemic, but yet it is pretty much a gospel song just jammed in there among the rest of the pop schlock that was being played on popular radio in 1991. The song was written and produced by the one and only Prince, and then performed by pop singer Martika, who is best known for her hit [...]
Dust off your hoop earrings and gigantic shoulder pads, because Martika is embarking on a comeback! The singer, who scored hits with 1989 chart-topper "Toy Soldiers" and the Prince composition "Love...Thy Will Be Done," has been inspired by the recent resurgence of fellow one-time teen queens Debbie Gibson and Tiffany . "People are enjoying revisiting that time from when I was out," Martika says. "I know there are lots of tours going on. Absolutely I have been inspired by that." While doing a bit of research, we stumbled across [...]
